• Fees (statewide): Idaho law caps a notary's fee at $5.00 for any notarial act. A notary may also be paid the actual and reasonable expense of travel to where the act is performed ^[8].
• Employers (statewide): an employer may bar a notary it employs from charging for notarial acts done as part of the job, but can't make the notary hand over a fee that was charged ^[8]. Idaho's $5 cap is lower than Nevada's $15 and Montana's and Wyoming's $10.
